Prepare to set aside what you think you know about yourself and microbes. The Hidden Half of Nature reveals why good health–for people and for plants–depends on Earth’s smallest creatures.

From garden to gut, they show why cultivating beneficial microbiomes holds the key to transforming agriculture and medicine.
